Marion honors Dispatcher Trevor Williams and Detective Summer Albright at council meeting
Summary
The council recognized two Marion Police Department employees: Trevor Williams as Dispatcher of the Year (peer-voted) and Detective Summer Albright as Officer of the Year for 2025, citing community events that raise scholarship money and a record number of case submissions to the county state's attorney's office.
The Marion City Council paused its agenda to recognize two police department employees for 2025: Trevor Williams, named Dispatcher of the Year by his peers, and Detective Summer Albright, named Officer of the Year.
The police chief introduced the awards, saying the dispatcher is “always at work” and that the officer has done “more than just police work,” including organizing events that raise money for a high-school scholarship program. The chief noted the officer submitted 65 cases to the Williamson County State’s Attorney’s Office this year — the highest number the department has sent — and that some of those were cold cases revived for prosecution.
Trevor Williams thanked the council and expressed a desire to continue serving the community that supported him. Detective Summer Albright said receiving the award was a bucket-list moment and thanked her colleagues. The council allowed attendees a brief respite to celebrate the recipients and their families before continuing the meeting.
The recognitions were ceremonial; no formal policy or budgetary actions were associated with the awards.
